All slashes have to be "escaped" by another slash.  So one \ = \\ and \\ =
\\\\
I have something similar, a local application that opens a remote file.

i.e.

Command Line: notepad ${ARGS}

Arguments (${ARGS}): \\\\server\\share\\filename.txt

obviously this uses notepad to open that file.  I use this on every map to
document changes.
On the folder I have write rights, everyone else has read rights - so they
can look but not touch.

******

though I haven't tried a remote app, the same should apply.........

Command Line: \\\\server\\share\\folder\\application.exe

no ${ARGS} required

Subject: [IM-Talk] Need Help with helper app

I am trying to create a help app which will launch a program from a
relative path, such as \\server\share\directory\application.exe
<file:///\\server\share\directory\application.exe> 

 

Intermapper keeps adding an extra \ where I have a single one, and thus
it cannot find the path to this application.

 

Is there anyway to do this, or a better way to do it?

 

Thanks,
